When Harry woke up the next morning, he felt at ease and calm, he looks down at Niall who's still sleeping soundly on his chest, not moved from where Harry had placed him, the only difference was that Niall was lying completely on top of Harry now.

Harry feels how their hands are joined, unaware that it's Niall's hand at first then he realises and looks at the way his hand wraps tightly round the smaller boys.

Harry smiles for a second before he realises that he enjoys it more than he should. He isn't gay. Why is he enjoying it. Niall is his best friend and would probably think it's weird when he wakes up.

Harry gently tries to remove his hand from Niall's but the lad has a good strong grip on Harry's hand. Not letting him go.

Fine be creeped out when you wake up, Harry thinks to himself.

The younger boy stays awake a little while longer just enjoying the quietness and using his phone a little bit to check social media before Niall wakes up with a yawn followed by a stretch, but his hand doesn't once leave Harry's.

"Morning," Harry says softly and the blonde makes a sleepy noise in response, which Harry finds more adorable than he should.

They lie in silence for a while. Harry freaking out on the inside as Niall still doesn't make a move to un-hold Harry's hand. He isn't exactly sure why he's freaking out to be honest, Niall is his best friend, friends hold hands, right?

Niall yawns a second time and finally let's Harry's nervous hand go and stretches properly. Harry thinks Niall can feel him physically relax.

"Are you okay now? Do you feel okay?" Harry asks in a soft voice.

"Yes, Haz, I feel so much better today, thank you," he smiles up at his best friend, from where he's positioned on his chest.

"Whatever for Nialler?"

"Being a good friend, most boys would just leave me to cry but you cuddled me until I felt better, so thank you, you're really comfortable to lie on by the way." Harry can't help his grin as Niall finishes his speaking.

Harry doesn't say anything. H can't find words to say so instead he just wraps his arms around Niall even more, in a hug type of way, and Niall laughs.

"What?" Harry questions the blonds amusement.

"My tummy rumbled!" Harry laughs with him lightly when they both hear it the second time.

"Always hungry aren't you, well lets get you some food," Niall climbs off of Harry's comfortable chest and sits up, he rubs at his eyes in a way that has Harry blushing because of how cute it was.

They both stand up and Niall visibly shivers, "You know how my mum likes to keep the house cold March through september," Harry grabs his hoodie he was wearing yesterday and passes it to his sleepy looking best friend, "wear this, Ni," Niall smiles and happily taking the hoodie, taking a little intake of Harry's scent when his friend isn't looking, before pulling the fabric over his head. It drowns him as Harry is at least five inches taller and bigger than him in every dimension.

"Look at you, awh," Harry chuckles as he looks at the sweater buried Niall.

"Harry?" his mum calls from downstairs.

"Yeah?"

"Are you and Niall awake and wanting breakfast? I can make pancakes," his mum says and Niall nods excitedly.

"Yes!" the blonde boy yells, his irish accent echoing through the british household. Niall's parents had moved to England after his dad got a better and much more so paying job there, when Niall was just a baby, so when he started school, Harry and him met there, and later found out their parents already knew each other.

Which was a bonus.

The two boys head downstairs and Anne smiles at Niall as Niall's mother told Anne about Niall's depression and when he stays over, his mother ensures that Niall takes his medication, so she gives it to Anne whom she can trust more than Niall, he always forgets to take it.

"Here's your medicine Niall, Harry get him some water," Harry grabs Niall a glass and hands it to him once it's filled with the liquid.

Niall takes his tablets and Anne makes them pancakes, whilst they wait they talk to each other about everything and anything, as they do anyway.

"Come on though, you have to agree that Selena is really pretty," Harry is trying to convince Niall of the fact; she is very pretty.

"She is, but she isn't right for you, why do you like her so much?" Niall huffs out, crossing his arms.

"She's in my science class, she's nice! And she's so beautiful, what do you have against her?" Niall nods his head agreeing.

"I-"

"Pancakes boys!" Harry's mum saves NIall the explanation, he feels he should thank her, but that's rather irrational.

They eat their food in silence, but it's comfortable with them, it always is.

Later on around twelve pm, Niall is picked up and ready to leave. Harry makes sure to give him a big hug goodbye and remind him he's always here for Niall, whenever he needs him, Harry reminded him that even when he is married with children, Niall will always be his priority. Which may or may not have made Niall blush a lot.

Maura thanks Anne for having him for the evening as Niall gets in his car. Harry pretends to cry and is his silly self as he blows an over-exaggerated kiss to Niall, who catches it and hugs it to his chest and wipes his imaginary tears away.

"Goodbye, my love, I'll see you..." Harry gasps as he shouts to Niall as Maura drives away.

"Later!" Niall shouts dramatically out the car window and Harry laughs before he shouts, "Nerd!" to his best friend.

Niall blows one last kiss and maybe Harry blushes.
